1 Danieli & C. Officine Meccaniche S.p.A. Buttrio (UD) via Nazionale n. 41 Fully-Paid Share Capital of Euro 81,304,566 Tax Code and Registration Number with the Register of Companies of Udine: PRESS RELEASE DANIELI GROUP The Board of Directors of Danieli met today, September 25, 2014, to examine and approve the financial statements for the year from July 01, 2013 to June 30, 2014, and the consolidated financial statements for the same period. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT JUNE 30, 2014 (millions of euro) 30/06/ /06/2013 Variation Revenues 2, , % Gross operating margin (Ebitda) % EBIT % Net profit for the period % Net profit attributable to the Group % Positive net financial position % Number of employees 11,424 10,944 4% Group s order book 3,079 3,206-4% (of which Steel Making) % Summary of results for the year 2013/2014 The trend of Group revenues has remained substantially stable for the Plant Making sector (engineering and construction of metal steel and aluminium making plants), whereas it has improved considerably in the Steel Making sector (production of steel) with the ABS Group (Acciaierie Bertoli Safau and ABS Sisak) thanks to a stronger consolidation of the Italian and European companies. The Board of Directors has acknowledged the results and pointed out that: - Danieli Plant Making has in any case maintained the set profitability targets, thanks not only to its technological leadership in many sectors, but also to a consolidated competitiveness in managing the engineering and manufacturing costs of the Asian subsidiaries, while ensuring at the same time a high quality of supplied products. - during the year ABS Steel Making has maintained a better level of plant utilisation. the strategy from now to 2018 has been defined, which will demand further investments in the ABS Group companies, estimated at 350 million euro approx. As far as capital expenditure is concerned, during the year the Plant Making sector saw the inauguration of the new Research Centre at Buttrio and especially of the new factories in India and Russia which are now completing their production ramp up. 1

2 In the Steel Making sector, ABS has concluded the first step of investments at Sisak in Croatia, where the plants were successfully started up, while investments continue at Pozzuolo with the new reversible rolling mills for the Rotoforge project and the technological upgrading of the casting machine MCC3. The ABS market, which is substantially European, remains volatile with 30/45 days visibility. Worldwide prospects of the metal making sector which influence the activity of the Danieli Plant Making segment In the second half of 2014 worldwide steel production reached nearly 820 million ton, up by 2.5% compared to the same period of the previous year. There exists an average overcapacity of 15/25% particularly in China which exports by squeezing prices. The steel market is therefore consolidating the results of 2013, and the forecast is that in 2014 the output of last year will be exceeded: China, India and Middle East continue to grow even if at a rate close to 2/3%, while Russia, USA, Japan and the EU are gradually recovering their past production levels. The need for an economic and financial policy coordinated globally to sustain growth through structured development plans enabling to implement medium and long term investments more efficiently has been confirmed. Expectations are for a worldwide level of growth in steel consumption of 2.5% per year for the next years. The existing overcapacity will therefore take a few years yet to be absorbed. However, a general improvement is expected starting in 2016, thanks to the many private investments and public infrastructure projects that will come into effect especially in countries with emerging economies. Lack of social and political stability affecting certain regions worldwide is another unforeseeable factor.

3 Plant making % Steel making % Total % Strategies Among the Danieli mottos we find: - Passion to innovate and perform and We do not shop around for noble equipment. The Danieli Group will therefore continue to consolidate and expand its activities to ensure an increased competitiveness in terms of innovation, technology, quality, costs, productivity and customer service; Danieli is renowned not only for its plant-making capabilities but also for its manufacturing ones: in Europe with noble and high-tech products, in Asia with the design and manufacturing of consolidated and tested products with the same European quality. - A step ahead with the aim of defining a new organizational model of the group to develop its present structure in a way which better reflects the emerging needs of the markets. In particular, to consolidate these strategies, we have decided to strengthen the Danieli Academy for the development of the Juniors, the updating of the Seniors and the management and enhancement of talented youths. Order Backlog The Group s order backlog was in line with year-end figures of the previous year and well diversified by geographical area and product line and, for the year ended June 30, 2014, amounted to 3,079 million euro (of which 217 million euro in the special steels sector), compared to 3,206 million euro for the year ended June 30, 2013 (of which 184 million euro for special steels). Human Resources The number of employees of the Danieli Group at June 30, 2014 was 11,424, increased by 480 units compared to June 30, Compared to 2013, staff has increased by 4% above all owing to the startup and strengthening of the activities in India, Russia and China. Danieli continues to pursue high rates of innovation, efficiency and quality of customer service; it follows that the team excellence plays a very important and strategic role for the company s success. The importance of managing with great attention the enhancement of people s potentials and skills to ensure that the Group staff training is in line with the best practice is therefore confirmed. Consolidated value added The determination of the generated economic value translates the Group s capacity to create wealth and distribute it in terms of remuneration to the identified stakeholders.

5 Danieli Group Activities The Danieli Group runs two main businesses: the first (Plantmaking) is in the field of engineering and manufacture of plants including turnkey plants for the production of metals. Its principal operating companies in the Plantmaking segment are in Europe (Italy, Sweden, Germany, France, Austria, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Russia, Spain) and in Asia (China, Thailand, India, Vietnam), with service centers in the US, Brazil, Egypt, Turkey and Ukraine. In the Plant Making sector Danieli is one of the top three manufacturers in the world for metalmaking plants and machines, market leader in meltshops and plants for the production of long products (these plants produce steel in electric arc furnaces sometimes from direct reduced iron and in addition to being competitive in terms of Capex and Opex, are also environment-friendly, compared to integrated plants that use blast furnaces and coke), and second in the manufacture of plants for flat products. The second business (Steelmaking) concerns the production of special steels through the companies Acciaierie Bertoli Safau S.p.A. (ABS) and ABS Sisak d.o.o. (ABS Sisak). The steels produced in these facilities supply the automotive industry, heavy-duty vehicles, engineering, energy and petroleum industries. ABS is the number one steelmaker in Italy and among the leading ones in Europe in its field. The Danieli Group employs about 6,000 people in Friuli-Venezia Giulia both directly and through the allied industries. It contributes by 40% to the yearly exports of the province of Udine, and by 20% to the exports of the whole region.
